Silly question. Of course he wasn't, he bested a past-it Azumah. Furthermore, Azumah actually RETIRED after another loss to Gabriel Ruelas. Most thought he was finished, especially at the age. The only reason why someone would even ask this question is because he un-retired a year later and stopped Leija. But even then, you could see he wasn't the same fighter. Overall...it's NO CONTEST. Nelson is one of the most underrated fighters of the past 20 years.
Was Leija better than Azumah Nelson?

Leija caught Nelson on the way out, but Nelson still had enough in him to give him a nice whipping in the second fight. I still think he won the first fight, but the third and fourth were just cases of Nelson having very little left. I think Nelson should've retired after the Genaro Hernandez fight.Comment

Ruelas was a cool fighter I seen his first lost at Tuseday night replay. He had some ring thing in his eras and didnt notice the ref counting.
Another memobriabl fight was with Gatti.
Nelson was a good boxer and Leija was good brawler usally a boxer beats the brawlerComment
